SUNDAY SERVICES:
A. M. SERVICES (JULY 25TH) -
TODAY'S SERVICES BEGAN WITH THE PRESENTATION OF THE ATTENDANCE BANNER, FOLLOWED BY THE DEACONS OPENING THE SERVICE IN PRAYER LED BY JOE SPURLOCK- THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY CONGREGATIONAL SINGING, ANNOUNCEMENTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, AND OFFERING; PASTOR SEAN INTRODUCED, WAVEY WILLIAMS FROM THE GASTON BAPTIST ASSOCIATION IN GASTONIA, NORTH CAROLINA. HE TOLD HOW THE PUPPET TEAM BLESSED THEM AND THE PLACES THEY PERFORMED IN SEEING 23 DECISIONS FOR THE LORD. HE ALSO PRESENTED THEM WITH A PLAQUE TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION. WE WERE BLESSED TO HAVE THEM IN OUR SERVICES TODAY. PASTOR SEAN THEN BROUGHT A VERY GOOD MESSAGE FROM MATTHEW 19, VERSES 16-22 IN WHICH IT TOLD OF A RICH, YOUNG RULER ASKING JESUS HOW TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE. JESUS ASK HIM WAS HE FAMILIAR WITH THE COMMANDMENTS, AND HE REPLIED THAT HE HAD KEPT THEM FROM HIS YOUTH, HOWEVER, JESUS TOLD HIM THAT ETERNAL LIFE WAS NOT BOUGHT OR EARNED, BUT IN REPENTING OF HIS SIN AND THROUGH BELIEVING IN JESUS AS GOD'S ONLY SON AND CONFESSING HIS SALVATION, COULD HE OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE. THE MAN WENT AWAY SORROWFUL, BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO GIVE UP HIS MONEY, AND DID NOT REPENT. WHAT'S GOING TO MATTER IN OUR LIVES, IS WHAT TREASURE ARE WE STORING UP, TREASURES IN HEAVEN, OR AN ETERNITY IN A PLACE OF TORMENT?
P. M. SERVICES (JULY 25TH)
TONIGHT'S SERVICE WILL BE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PUPPET TEAM'S MISSIONARY TRIP TO GASTONIA, NORTH CAROLINA. THERE WILL BE VIDEOS, PICTURES, AND TESTIMONIES.

"BACK TO SUNDAY
SCHOOL"
VACATIONS TO FAR AWAY PLACES SUCH AS FLORIDA, MYRTLE BEACH, VIRGINIA BEACH, AND CAMPING TRIPS TO THE CAROLINAS, ARE COMING TO AN END. WHY? BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR "BACK TO SCHOOL." HOWEVER, THE FIRST SUNDAY IN AUGUST, IT WILL BE "BACK TO SUNDAY SCHOOL." OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE HAS REALLY BEEN DOWN IN THE PAST MONTH OR SO, AND IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WITH VACATIONS, HOLIDAYS AND FAMILY GET-TOGETHERS. OUR PASTOR HAS CHALLENGED US TO INCREASE OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, STARTING WITH THE MONTH OF AUGUST. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN WIN THIS CHALLENGE. . . SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS, GET ON THE PHONE. . . SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENTS, BRING YOUR FRIENDS. . . ADULTS, INVITE YOUR NEIGHBORS OR CO-WORKERS! WE "CAN" DO IT, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HELP!

THEY PUT ON TWO SHOWS EACH DAY, AND RETURNED ON FRIDAY THE 16TH. THEY WERE SO EXCITED - BECAUSE THEY SEEN 23, YES, 23 DECISIONS MADE FOR THE LORD! WE THANK AND PRAISE THE LORD FOR THEIR LABORS, ANSWERED PRAYERS AND THEIR SAFE TRIP HOME.
23 DECISIONS MADE
FOR THE LORD
